Unblack metal
Unblack metal (or Christian black metal) is a genre of music that is stylistically black metal, but whose artists either are either directly against Satanism, or promote Christianity in their lyrics and imagery. Unblack metal artists are controversial, mainly because black metal's pioneers, especially those of the Second Wave, were anti-Christian. It is also suggested that Christianity contradicts black metal's dark nature and the individualistic and misanthropic ideals of many bands.〔
The exact beginning of the unblack metal movement is disputed. The Australian band Horde's 1994 album ''Hellig Usvart'' brought the concept and the term ''holy unblack metal'' (a word play on Darkthrone's slogan "unholy black metal" used on the albums ''A Blaze in the Northern Sky'' and ''Under a Funeral Moon''〔) to media attention,〔 while the Norwegian band Antestor was already formed in 1990 as a death/doom act and released its demo ''The Defeat of Satan'' in 1991, before they began shifting towards black metal on their 1994 album ''Martyrium''.
==Characteristics==
Unblack metal is viewed as an ideological group within black metal that depicts Christianity positively. Hence, unblack metal incorporates black metal's fast tempos, shrieked vocals, highly distorted guitars played with tremolo picking, double-kick drumming, and unconventional song structure. Garry Sharpe-Young's 2001 encyclopedia ''A-Z of Black Metal'' states that "()opping the lot are Christian 'Unblack' acts who for all intents and purposes look like, sound like and employ the imagery of Black Metal whilst hidden in the unpenetrable vocal growls and distortions are the proclamations of Jesus Christ".
Some unblack metal artists write lyrics that explicitly attack Satanism; for example Horde.〔"So the album was created with a prophetic, free, submissive, obedient, reverent, anti-Satan and Christian mindset." – Horde: (Interview with Son Of Man Records ) (retrieved 2007-11-30).〕 This was a dominant theme during most of the 1990s. Beginning in the late 1990s, groups began to write philosophical and ideological lyrics. These often include stories of conversion, salvation, struggles with faith, and Bible quotes. Unblack metal bands may justify their playing of black metal with reasons ranging from genuine appreciation of black metal as a music style to evangelization among the black metal scene i.e. "bringing light into darkness".〔〔"Our songs deal with personal challenges as well as on spiritual struggles." - Pål Dæhlen: (Interview with CrossOver ).〕
